FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT DISCONNECTS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE PERSON RIDING IN THE SEAT WAS AN ADULT ON EVERY OCCASION. I FOUND A RECALL ONLINE FROM 2001, BUT WAS TOLD BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS.MY CAR STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW AND I DON'T PLAN ON GETTING RID OF IT ANYTIME SOON. BUT I ALSO CAN'T HAVE MY PASSENGER WORRYING ABOUT THE SEAT BELT COMING UNDONE. ESPECIALLY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
